Family Farmall 560

Brother-in-law took a picture of my Farmall 560 waiting for chores in the machine shed; this tractor was passed down from my Father-in-law to me when he retired from farming. Each of my kids have had their pictures taken with Grandpa on this tractor and now I am the grandpa with grandkids and the tradition continues with my grandkids getting their pictures taken on this same tractor. 

Still use it for planting sweet corn with an old 2-row lister, blading drives and discing ground. When the day comes when I can no longer climb up on the tractor it will get passed down to others in the family; until then I look forward to the next time I get on her and work the ground. 

Nothing better than an open cab tractor and fresh dirt!
